Dietary restriction in aging and longevity

Schmauck-Medina et al. review dietary restriction as a class of geroprotective interventions, considering evidence across species, conflicting data, mechanisms, side effects and pharmacological mimetics.

NAD⁺ augmentation restores mitophagy and limits accelerated aging in Werner syndrome

The molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction in the premature ageing Werner syndrome were elusive. Here the authors show that NAD⁺ depletion-induced impaired mitophagy contributes to this phenomenon, shedding light on potential therapeutics.

Amelioration of Alzheimer’s disease pathology by mitophagy inducers identified via machine learning and a cross-species workflow

Two potent mitophagy inducers, identified and characterized via unsupervised machine learning and a cross-species screening approach, ameliorated the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease in worms and mice.

WRN promotes bone development and growth by unwinding SHOX-G-quadruplexes via its helicase activity in Werner Syndrome

Short stature is a hallmark of Werner Syndrome, but the underlying mechanisms are not well studied. Here they report that WRN regulates bone development and growth by opening SHOX-G-quadruplexes via its helicase activity both in vitro and in vivo.

Enhanced brain mitophagy slows systemic aging

Compromised clearance of dysfunctional mitochondria, through the process of mitophagy, has garnered attention as an essential contributor to aging and neurodegeneration. Schmid and colleagues¹ reveal that genetic enhancement of mitophagy via neuronal overexpression of BNIP3 alleviates brain aging and prolongs healthspan in fruit flies.

Mitophagy inhibits amyloid-β and tau pathology and reverses cognitive deficits in models of Alzheimer’s disease

The authors report that mitophagy is impaired in Alzheimer’s disease. Stimulation of mitophagy reverses cognitive deficits in nematode and mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, suggesting a potential therapeutic intervention.

Emerging strategies, applications and challenges of targeting NAD⁺ in the clinic

Levels of the metabolic coenzyme NAD⁺ decline during aging, which is linked to many age-related diseases. Zhang et al. review recent clinical and translational evidence testing NAD⁺ supplementation in age-related diseases, highlighting therapeutic challenges and opportunities.
